This is gorgeous! I love the soft shades and effect of the entire piece, and the way you did the wheels.

Thank you so much!
(especially for appreciating the wheels--they took ages to draw!)

The angle between the front and rear of the bike was a bit odd .. The front wheel also / / catch

But it was not what I meant because, after all, the design is beautiful.
But offended if I admit that I liked much of the set between the broken wheel than the rest of the drawing itself x3?

Thanks for the critique!
Unfortunately I already sent it in, so I can't change it.
But glad you like it nonetheless!

Ah, this is fantastic! Love your cross-hatching technique - looks like an illustration straight out of a professional illustrator's book... brilliant

Aww that's awesome! Congrats for getting in (and for finding out so early, too!). And it's okay not to know your major; I don't either haha...So where else did you apply, if you don't mind me asking?

Scribblez454 In reply to xmindizzle [2012-01-29 02:11:03 +0000 UTC]

actually no where else, cus the other art schools in seattle that are just art schools arent that great for the amount they cost, but the seattle central community college in capitol hill has an awesome art program from what ive read and its really really cheap so if i cant manage to pay for cornish ill just go get an AA there but im pretty sure ill be able to swing cornish, if i cant ill die cus its basically the door to being able to do what ever i want and have a decent career in the art world

hmm that makes sense. I had never even heard of Cornish before you mentioned it, actually. So then I hope that works out for you then! It's great that you only had to apply to one school haha... I applied to 8

thanks , what places did you apply to, what are you thinking about studying?

xmindizzle In reply to Scribblez454 [2012-01-29 22:59:02 +0000 UTC]

Well, I applied to all schools in the New England/New York area, so idk how many you'd know, but: RISD, Syracuse, Pratt MWP, MassArt, Monsterrat, Suffolk, UConn, and University of Hartford. Haha... it's a little overkill, I know. My top choice is RISD though. And I applied undecided to them all, but I definitely am studying art.

Well, none of them are that far from where I live, but yeah, I'd still have to move.
You? I mean, yours is right in Seattle so are you staying where you are?

xmindizzle In reply to Scribblez454 [2012-02-01 00:57:38 +0000 UTC]

Right, I forgot about that.
Well then it's nice of you to stay with her.
Plus I've heard so many good things about Seattle that it seems
like somewhere you wouldn't want to leave. In fact, I have
always wanted to visit there myself someday.
